This may sound weird, but all the fangirl attention she's getting in the D-Addicts LF thread is bugging me... :sweat: :beaten:

You should be more understanding. :hehe: On the other hand, maybe it says something about the quality of her acting.

I think it's more about her role than anything else...

Kijinnmaru wrote:I guess I have to disagree with you all for once. She's dressed in a "boyish" fashion, but I'm still seeing a number of feminine characteristics in that picture which is why I like it. The clothes are worn to conform to a female body. Her posture and demeanor, though exuding confidence and suave, still says "female" to me. Not to mention makeup and lighting that brings out her "softness".

And an iffeminate male is still a male acting female. :rofl:

Okay.. this is killing me.. the word is effeminate - I spelled it wrong to start with and now I've seen it quoted four times and I'm ripping my hair out.

I accept your feminine analysis of Juri's look. I will, however, sustain my judgment that what she is wearing does not bring out anything feminine about her. Her face and makeup surely insinuate her femininity, but the outfit fails to advance that - even if you could argue about the reactions the subtle cues in the cut evoke. If it's feminine, it's only the slightest bit so and would, by many, if not most, be characterized at the limits of that definition.

I, myself, often classify myself as an effeminate male... even though I'm very masculine looking, do things that are associated with males.

I do, however, believe in hygeine, cleanliness, I love to cook, I like to talk about feelings and am very social, I like to dress well... those qualities are often defined in a male as effeminate. I don't think it has to do with acting female, unless those qualities define "acting female"

Surely, I'm more feminine than some men and I don't contest that.. but I don't think anyone characterize my behavior as acting female - I think effeminate has taken on a cultural meaning which extends beyond it's textual comprehension.

I think I agree with this too. The acting is fine. She belts out some great moves but really nothing extraordinary - she's clearly being stunted by the script (as is just about everyone else).

I noticed that, but didn't say anything... I've been smacked down on various occasions for being too anal about spelling... :sweat:

Hehe.. I can usually tolerate it when it's someone else - but when I'm the one who makes the mistake, I have to fix it!

Same here.... Even if it's a post from way back. :beaten:

I need help. :sweat:




Ack, gotta get back to system integration... Jaa. :sweat:

AHAHAHAHA. I only spelled it that way cuz you spelled it that way. Effeminate is not a word I use....ever, so no surpised I spelled it wrong. In the end, we all look at things through the window of our own perspectives and experience. To me, the overall picture of her had me thinking boysih, yet still exhibiting enough feminine to garner my opinion of "nice".

And the only trait about you that can be implied as effeminate is talking about your feelings. And that's stretching it. Other than the feelings you've generally described me, and I'm the polar opposite of effeminate.

True, true. I forgot we were talking about fangirls. :hehe:

Hi I'm a new Juri Ueno fan compared to you guys here, she is my new obsession (not in a weird way) lol i just can't get enough of her performances. I just wanted to say thanks to you all cause I got most of my her performances from your posts. Seeing her documentaries made me realize that she is even a more spectacular person, if she wasn't the way she was, i probably wouldn't have been so much of her fan. Oh yea and her "Shit" scene in that one documentary where she went to England made me laugh so hard :hehe:

One of the memorable scene that I love most about her performances was during the Nodame Cantabile SP scene where she was distraught because of her musical brick wall... I don't know... that performance made me feel for her character.

As for her new character Ruka, I like her style ( i also like her style in Nodame also this is just a different one lol) In this Drama, i liked the scene between her and Takeru when he confronts her about her moving. It was a great performance done by her, something about her expressions during that scene was great!

Anywho sorry for my ramblings, there is just something about her that makes her a cool person (sorry to sound weird lol)

Welcome to the forums! You've certainly come to a great place for all things Ueno Juri. :woot:

I agree with you, if I hadn't seen the documentaries on her I probably wouldn't be much of a fan. Her performance in Nodame Cantabile was great, but seeing how down to earth she was in the documentaries really won me over.

Well, you have plenty of pictures and screencaps to keep you company in this thread :mrgreen:

Isn't it great we can use words we never do in something as silly as a drama forum? It's the reason I come :)
